Job overview

Ref: 1415/016

Whether you're experienced or newly-qualified, you have the commitment, passion and belief to deliver an exceptional learning experience. Then bring your talents to Blackpool Sixth - and enjoy all the support you need to achieve your professional goals.

You'll be working with a genuinely enthusiastic and ambitious group of young people studying on a range of courses (mainly AS/A Levels and BTECs). That enthusiasm is generating some remarkable results.

Those achievements - and the fact that we have been rated Outstanding by Ofsted - are a credit to our high-performing teaching team. In return for their efforts, we offer excellent opportunities for training, professional development and career progression. As the first sixth form college to be awarded Teaching School Status and part of the Fylde Coast Teaching School Alliance, we also share best practice as we shape the future of teaching and support the educational leaders of the future.

You can look forward to a superb working environment, with a new £25 million campus boasting purpose built classrooms and advanced facilities. What's more, our team is developing its use of leading-edge technology.

You will be joining a vibrant and successful Science department with a thriving Electronic Engineering and Applied Science provision. With state-of-the-art laboratories, a designated electronics classroom and an engineering building, our goal is to drive continued improvement in all aspects of student development. Our positive and supportive ethos offers a wholly rewarding environment within which ambitious tutors can achieve their professional goals.

As well as a degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject, you should have first-rate communication and organisational skills, as well as an adaptable and flexible approach. Knowledge of the AS/A2 Level Electronics curriculum and/or BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering and/or BTEC Extended Diploma in Applied Science would be an advantage but is not essential.

As well as a great location on the Lancashire border, we provide a first-rate rewards package for all new teaching staff including a Macbook, plus excellent Terms and Conditions including 195 working days per year and access to the Teachers' Pension Scheme. We have already achieved the Health Works Silver Award and are now working towards the Gold, so you'll enjoy a range of health and wellbeing activities too.

Blackpool Sixth Form College welcomes applications from NQTs and is able to support new members of staff in achieving QTS/QTLS.

We are a high-achieving sixth form, giving our students an excellent springboard to success. We educate the whole student, providing all with excellent teaching and opportunities for growth and personal development. We are recognised by Ofsted as an outstanding sixth form. We are relatively small in size, with just over 2000 students and approximately 200 staff. This means that we are a close and caring community. 

We serve the whole Fylde Coast area, which includes Poulton-le-Fylde and Lytham St Annes, as well as Blackpool and the surrounding towns and villages. Blackpool Sixth is a friendly, positive and supportive place to work and is rated Grade One: Outstanding by Ofsted (2009). In 2009, we became one of the first organisations in the country to be awarded the Investors in People Gold Award. Staff are committed to the needs and aspirations of our students and supported by an extensive programme of staff development.

 Staff are highly committed to the needs and aspirations of our students. The continued growth in student numbers and planned curriculum developments has enabled the sixth form to invest in new staff and new buildings. The college is designated as a Teaching School in partnership with Hodgson Academy and it's a really exciting time to be part of Blackpool Sixth.

All new staff are offered a thorough induction program; this is supplemented for Newly Qualified Teachers with a comprehensive series of training sessions throughout the academic year. All new staff are allocated a mentor in their probationary year, they are here to offer support and guidance in your new role.It's not just teachers that we develop, both teaching and support staff are involved in an annual programme of staff development, supported by individual performance management reviews and training and development plans.

On top of the internal opportunities staff now also benefit from a wider programme of Continuing Professional Development events which come from being part of the Teaching School Alliance, these include nationally accredited programmes.
